名师指点：SAT写作权威指导

　　写作作为在学习和工作过程中的一种基本技能，不仅能够体现学生在学习研究过程中对所学知识的总结表述水平，还能客观反映其逻辑思维及信息筛选能力。

　　接下来笔者结合这个素材进行一些营造，写出思路链。但是笔者还是衷心建议各位考生依据真实经历进行写作，会更有真情实感。

　　第一步：

　　不做计划---失败

　　阿姨为人打工多年，小有积蓄（save up for many years）---希望自己创业（start up her own business）---因为觉得自己厨艺不错，没有进行实地考察，就仓促决定选择餐馆, （without a moment’ hesitation，make a decision/action 点题）--- 但是后来发现餐馆没有什么客户(fail to attract many customers)---原因是所处的地段是中学附近，竞争对手实力过分强大（fierce competition）---可以把对手细化成两类加强真实感，一类是small profit, large sales revenue; 还有一类是good at creating romantic atmosphere, aimed at rich customers--- 之后阿姨不得不关门(close down营造失败的细节).

　　第二部 过渡

　　阿姨的父亲是个老企业家，他指出问题阿姨这次失败的原因所在, 即要做计划然后再行动---阿姨学习了经验---下定决心重新起航，并且会先做好全面准备工作再决定。

　　注：通常满分作文都会出现一个“智者”指出主人公问题的所在而不是由主人公自己讲出。

　　Despite great disappointment, my optimistic aunt soon recovered from this failure with her father’s encouragement (an experienced and successful entrepreneur in Suzhou), who pointed out her biggest problem after knowing the whole process. He told my aunt, ‘More haste, less speed. You had better make full preparation before each decision.’

　　Having gained experience from her failure, my aunt tried to restart her business three months later. But this time she gave priority to having a deeper understanding of the demands of the local market.

　　第三步 充分准备--决定进行catering service---成功 （这是关键段落，点题）

　　具体就是doing marketing research(这里需要考生去细化一些怎么做市场调研的细节，对应题目的get all the information)--- 然后data enabled my aunt to reach a final decision(对应题目的take action)--- 决定进行catering service considering its large marketing potential----最后是成功（这里的细节大家可以自己去营造，比如年利润the annual profit increased by 10%, with a market share of… in this field）

　　第四步 总结例子，重述观点。

　　Had it not been for the full preparation before my aunt’s second try, she would not have regained her self confidence and established herself as one of the most successful entrepreneurs in Suzhou.

　　Therefore, from my personal experience, we can draw the conclusion that it is more effective to try after careful arrangements.

　　以上是对于10月份考题的点评。写作没有捷径，只有通过例子的积累，思维的练习和勤加动笔才能获得较好的成绩。预祝考生11月考试顺利。
